The military base in Gancheng, in the far northwest.
That night.
Huo Beian did not return; he had an urgent mission.
Song Ning had just turned off the lights and wanted to go to sleep.
Then I heard the sound of the door lock being pried open.
Who is it?
Song Ning became alert and immediately got up and hid behind the door.
Sure enough, a person, with their head covered, sneaked in.
Song Ning grabbed the stick behind the door and smashed it down on the man's head.
"oops."
The man snorted, then immediately turned around, grabbed Song Ning by the neck, and slammed her against the wall.
Song Ning struggled desperately, but her neck was being choked so tightly that she couldn't breathe; women are naturally weaker than men.
As a result, the man used his leg to block her leg, holding it tightly so she couldn't move at all.
"Help! Huo Beian, come quick..."
Song Ning suddenly felt a little dazed.
No, this can't go on...
By the time Huo Beian arrives, things will probably be over.
Given the current situation, it seems that we can only outsmart them, not resort to force.
Song Ning then pretended to faint, and the man indeed lowered his guard.
"Heh, you're already dizzy?"
Just as the man lowered his guard, she immediately stretched out her leg and kicked him hard in the groin.
"ah--"
The man groaned in pain and immediately bent over.
Song Ning immediately kicked him, forcing him to his knees.
"Trying to ambush me? You're still too green. You think you can ambush me?"
As Song Ning spoke, she punched and kicked the man, who begged for mercy repeatedly.
Just then, I heard footsteps coming from the doorway.
Song Ning then knew that Huo Beian had probably arrived.
She then pretended to faint and lay down on the ground.
"daughter in law?"
Huo Beian ran in with a flashlight.
I saw a thug.
He stepped forward and punched the man in the head.
The man collapsed to the ground with a muffled groan, and Huo Beian kicked him several more times.
"You dare hit my wife? You want to die?"
He quickly picked Song Ning up and shook her violently, "Wife, are you alright?"
Song Ning then pretended to wake up and said weakly, "Huo Beian, why did you take so long to come? I thought I would never see you again..."
After saying that, she began to cry, tears streaming down her face.
Huo Beian felt extremely distressed.
"Honey, I'm sorry I'm late..."
“I’m fine…” Song Ning shook her head, pointing at the man, “Huo Bei’an, don’t let him get away…”
"good."
Huo Beian then picked up the rope and tied him up.
After turning on the light and removing the black cloth from the man's face, they discovered that it was actually Richard's translator, Irving.
"It's you?"
Huo Beian had already suspected there was something wrong with the translation, and sure enough, he delivered it right to his doorstep.
"Tell me honestly, why did you come and hit my wife?"
Irving cried out, "I didn't hit her, she hit me!"
Song Ning immediately retorted, "You're talking nonsense! How could a weak woman like me possibly beat you!"
"I saw you, and you're still trying to deny it!"
Huo Beian immediately punched him in the face.
Owen cried out in pain and finally confessed. "It was because she translated for Richard that my plans fell through. That's why I took revenge on her!"
Song Ning immediately said, "Huo Beian, stop wasting your breath on him and just take him directly to Deputy Commander Qian."
"good."
Huo Beian immediately took Owen to see Deputy Commander Qian.
After interrogation, it turned out that this Irving was indeed a spy sent by the United States.
"Bei'an, you've done another good deed this time. What kind of reward do you want?"
“Deputy Regiment Commander Qian, actually I didn’t make the arrest, it was my wife. The credit should go to her.”
Upon hearing this, Song Ning turned to look at her, her eyes widening. Huo Beian gave her a wink.
She pursed her lips shyly before saying, "Yes, Deputy Commander Qian, I'm the one who arrested him."
"I didn't expect you to be so brave and resourceful, Song Ning. You're really impressive. Alright, tell me, what reward do you want?"
"I……"
Before Song Ning could say anything, she heard Huo Beian's voice.
"Deputy Regiment Commander Qian, recently some people in the family compound have been talking about Song Ning's family background. I hope you can clarify this for my wife through the public address system..."
The rumors and gossip that had been circulating recently had reached his ears. He didn't care, but he was afraid that the buzzing of those flies would affect his wife's mood.
Upon hearing this, Song Ning felt a surge of warmth in her heart.
So, he knew all along... and used his achievements to clear her name...
After thinking for a moment, Deputy Regiment Commander Qian nodded in agreement.
“I have already notified the nearby police station. The officers will come to take him away for interrogation first thing tomorrow morning. Beian, you will be in charge of the interrogation tonight.”
"Thank you, Deputy Commander Qian... I'll take my wife home first."
On the way home.
Song Ning walked side by side with Huo Beian, bathed in the warm yellow light of the streetlights.
The evening breeze carried the distant clamor past, but it could not disperse the shadows that gradually intertwined beside the two people.
Under the streetlights, their shadows stretched long.
After Huo Beian safely delivered Song Ning home, he said, "Wife, lock the door tonight. I'm going to interrogate Owen."
After he finished speaking, he was about to turn around and leave when Song Ning called him back.
"Huo Beian, thank you just now."
As soon as he finished speaking, his palm was enveloped in warmth.
Huo Beian stretched out his fingers and threaded them through hers.
